The railroad timetable has again under
gone a series of changes in order to make
proper connections with numerous other
connecting lines. Most of the changes are
given below, some of the others not being
positively determined or yet. A new time

at 1850 A. NJ and $50 F. NJ. They will
arrive at 4:40 A. NJ. and Jam. The Red
Bluff train will leave here at the usual time
in the afternoon (2:45), but will arrive at
$50 A. N. instead of 1910 A. NJ. The
Knights Landing passenger will leave here
at 7;10 P. n. instead of $50 T. NJ, and will
arrive at 6:55 A. NJ. as usual. Trains will

pany. every effort will undoubtedly be made
to crowd out small distillers who may at
tempt to act independently of the trust.
In these days, when the power of great
corporations has become a matter of such
moment as to become subject of the liyeliest
public concern, the evolution of the trust
suggests some very important considera-
tions. The despatch that announces the
formation of this last and biggest trust con-
talns this sentence; Wages will probably
be reduced from ten to twenty per cent at
once" Suppose they are reduced All the
laborer can DO is to stand the reduction, seek
some other employer or strike. But there is
no one producing but the trust, so his only
alternative is to strike; strike againsta cor
poratlon with forty millions of capital and
the complete control of production, so that
II may store up its product a year ahead to
Iced the markets until the strikers starye or
submit. The consumer, too, is interested as
well as the laborer. The direct object of the
trust is to stop competition, and raise prices
and profits. AS spirits are not to great ex-
tent necessity of life the action of the Dis
tillers' Trust will escape much of the con-
demnation that would naturally fall to such
a scheme as combination to raise the price
of an article. But the principle is the same,
whether the article be spirits or bread.

The immense advantage we have in
America in having no large standing army to
support is illustrated by petty economy
which France practices this year. The re-
serves will be called out for only twenty y-one
days this year in order to save about nine
hundred thousand dollars. The usual time
is twenty-eight days. If decrease Of seven
days of the reserve muster saves nearly a
million dollars to the nation, it is easy to
realize the terrible expenses of keeping the

THE PRICE OF COFFEE.
TSprinefeld Union1

The high price of coffee has already led to
a considerable reduction in consumption, and
an Increase Of the mixtures viii ch pass for
coffee with people who are not fastidious
There is no good reason why the wholesale
price of coffee should go 100 per cent. beyond
the old rates. Gambling is accountable for
it, and the people can beat the gamblers If
they will, by drinking something besides cof-
fee. During the war, when coffee was very
high and almost beyond reach, families used
roasted sweet corn, bread crusts, wheat, ETC.,
and probably did not suffer much by the
substitution Tea is now cheaper bever-
age than coffee, and if people would agree to
let coffee alone for few months the specu-
lators could be brought to terms. 1t is stat
ed that grocers are now purchasing very lit
tie coffee beyond their immediate wants,
and are even encouraging the use of chicory
and other substitutes, until the coffee market
is sick of the speculation.

Gen. Malone in his address to the Republi-
cans of Virginia commits, as far as he is
able, the National Republican party to the
repeal of the internal revenue taxes and the
passage Of the Blair educational bill. The
first part Of this programme Gen. Malone
will find will meet some very strong opposi-
tion from the Republicans of the North. The
great majority of Republicans believe whis-
key to be very proper subject for taxation
As for the Blair bill, it is true that several
times it has passed Republican Senate, yet
there are great many Republicans in the
North who are far from convinced of the
wisdom Of the policy which that bill en-
bodies

bad snubbing The Collector told them that
he was responsible to the President of the
United States for the conduct of his Office,

in the Chicago custsm house there is no
ground for complaint But the allegation is
that most Of the removals have been made,
NOT because the persons removed are incom-

Civil service reform encourages removals

OUR LITTLE GRANDCHILD.
Cleansed, Purified, and Beautiiied by
the Cuticura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this report of
the cure of our little grandchd by your CUTIcU-
RA REMEDIES. When six months old his left hand
began to swell and had every appearance of a
large boil. We poulticed it, but All to purpose
About five mouths after it became a running sore
them on each hand, and as his blood became more
and more impure it took less time for them to
break out. A sore came on the chin, beneath the
under lip, which was very offensive. His head was
one solid scab, discharging great deal This was
his condition at twenty-five months old, when
undertook the care of him, his mother having died
when he was little more than a year old, of con-
sumption (scrofua of course). He could walk
little, but could not get up if he fell down, and
could not move when in bed, having no use Of his
hands. Immediately commenced with the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES, using the CUTICURA and CUTI-
CURA SOAP freely, and when he had taken one
bottle of the CUTICURA REsOLvENT, his head was
completely cured and he was improved in every
way. We were very much encouraged, and con-
tinued the use OF the Remedies for a year and a
half One sore after another healed, a bony mat
ter forming in each one of these five deep ones
just before healing, which would finally grow loose
and were taken out; then they would heal rapidly.
One OF these ugly bone formations L preserved.
After taking dozen and half bottles he was
completely cured and is now, at the age of SIX
his hands must always remain; his hands are
strong, though we once feared he would never lie
able to use them. All that physicians did for him
using the CUTIcURA REMEDIES and see the child
now consider it a wonderful cure. III the above
facts are OF any use to You you are at liberty to

Prince William of Prussa's presence at
Gastein during the visit of the Emperor OF
Austria was due to Prince Bismarck's earn
est wish that a reconciliation should take
place between the grandson of the Emperor
William and the Crown Prince of Austria;
and that the aged Kaiser is not less anxious
ON the subject is proved by the fact that he
has just sent the Cross of the Grand Com
membership of the family order of the royal
house OF Hohenzollern to the Archduke Ru-
dolph. Serious differences arose between
the two Princes when Prince William visited
Vienna, and he rather compromised himself
there in various ways, with the result that he
has since been In the black-books of the
Austrian Court. 1t was hoped that the
meeting with the Emperor Francis Joseph
at Gastein would result in more satsfac-
tory state of affairs.
Adolph Sutro, of tunnel fame, has decided
to present colossal statue of Liberty to
the city of San Francisco. The figure will
be of stone, and, including the pedestal, will
be 40 feet high. At the base will crouch a
figure representing Anarchy. The statue is
to be erected OIL the summit of one of the
twin peaks, two cone-shaped hills at the ex-
tremity of Market street. midway of the pc
ninsula, overlooking both the Pacific Ocean
and the Bay of San Francisco. The site
for the statue Is $50 feet high, so that
the electric light torches which Liberty
will hold aloft will be 1000 feet above the
level of the sea. This project is not vision
ary. Mr.. Sutro has already accepted de-
sign, and proposes to pay for the work out
of his private purse, The estimated cost is
$4,000, not including the expense of con-
structing a winding road to the summit.

knowledge. Both in Germany and on the
English coast cliffs amateurs without instru-

This story is told of the wife of an emil
nent benefacto- of the town, whose resi-
dence was on the "Hill." One day while
the lady was in the midst of preparations
for the midday meal this was in the
olden time when people got up in the
morning and had dinner at the proper
time) a caller was announced. Hastily
leaving the kitchen where she was over
seeing operations she entered the next
room where the visitor was. The door
between the two was open, and pretty
o the lady broke off the conversation
and called to the "help" in the kitchens:
Nancy, does the kettle boil?"
mo, man."
Then the conversation was renewed, to
be broken again in a few minutes by the
inquiry;
Nancy, does the kettle boil?" /,
No, MAN.
Then take the pine stick in the corner
and put it on the fire." This was pre-
sumably done, for shortly after. when
MAN" repeated her question:
Nancy, does the kettle boil?"
"Yes, MAN" was the answer.
Then take off the pine stick and put
it in the corner"
